  1. I mean trying to derail a train by driving on its tracks is technically an act of terror so I'd charge with Domestic Terrorism and give lifetime in Bolingbroke.
  2. Thing is you're on a heavy RolePlay server, not GTA Online or a Cops & Robbers server, it's not supposed to be fair, it's supposed to be realistic, criminals have to actually be smart not just abuse the hell of the game limitations to pull the most unrealistic stuff. If people are okay with driving through ICly busy metro tunnels with no regard to realism in a lowered sports car which would have its whole underbody absolutely ripped apart on these train tracks, why wouldn't we be okay with flying off a cliff? It's basically the same definition in both cases, powergaming.
  3. Jhon Salmon x @Fireworks collab when?
  4. I'm against removing the fine so I'll give -1. However, I'd like to point out the irony of calling it a self serving suggestion, as the suggesting player is a legal roleplayer as SADCR & SD, and not an illegal player.
  5. ((L&A'd per request.))
  6. The goal of paid healthcare is not to increase the amount of people wishing to engage in medical RP, it's quite the opposite in fact. Picture it this way. An evening or a night will be made, as of now, of a vast majority of gunshot wounds calls, where the medical RP is forced on players because they got themselves involved in a shooting. This is the problem, right here. As it stands, medical roleplayers (EMS responders) usually faces one of the following scenarios (listed by frequency of occurrence): The patient is dead The patient is AFK / will not interact with medics at all. The patient does not answer medical RolePlay / basic questions (Are you in pain? /do Are there visible injuries?) and goes on a rant in /b how they do not want to roleplay those injuries because X shot them with no reason and they should not have to RP it. (It happens a lot more than you think, a huge lot more) The patient somehow miraculously feels fine and barely acknowledges being shot 7 times in the chest. (We sometimes RP them as not able to survive this, because honestly if you have 7 bullets in your lungs you physically cannot breath, which they usually contest because "muh not a headshot so i'm fine") The rare few scenes where a player actually gives us even basic RP and makes it enjoyable by somewhat feeling a little bit involved by what's going down. If death becomes punitive (Monetary fee, it's what most people will definitely quantify and look out for) as well as medical becoming paid as well, maybe it will lead players to be more careful about shootings and think twice before engaging into a shooting/drive-by simply because their opponents tagged a singular wall in their territory, and will chose a more moderate escalation approach (Brawl, assaults, etc..), as they will need to actually value their character's life and not just PK out of it. So, all in all, the goal of paid healthcare is not to bring more cases to medical RPers. Its goal is to moderate the influx of identical, repetitive and frankly unwanted calls (Nothing's worse than your patient making it clear your very medical RP as EMS is bothering them because they don't care) by making people -actually- value their characters' lives. (Keep in mind the added bonuses with paid healthcare however, namely: Different levels of care in different price ranges. (Pillbox/ER @ $$$, A private clinic @ $$ or even charity-run clinics like Hope Health @ $, etc) Underground, illegal medical teams / doctors with also different prices for all kinds of medical procedures. (As some form of supplier status / vouched position) Insurance companies with different prices and benefits. (More expensive = better coverage, bare minimum = minimum coverage, etc...)
  7. this guy's a real g unlike @bonedead smh
  8. you know what emoji i'm gonna post right?

  11. It was very sketchy stuff. Might wanna add a NSFW warning though on that post
  12. she said yes at least yeah? this some high level rizz
  13. There is already a taxi revamp incoming, so it's easy to assume the taximeter has already been considered. On a different note, the vast majority of the taxis I used / RP'd with do not use a pay-per-5-seconds as it is inherently unoptimal if you're trying to RP through the ride, it'll artificially increase the price and subsequently lead to fewer interactions which can kind of ruin the customer-driver vibe. A price per range would be ideal which is what companies already do (e.g. Habeeb Taxis, 300$ in-city, 500$ city-to-sandy & 600 city-to-paleto iirc, those are old fares I used to apply when working there a year or two ago.)
  14. Name: AThousandMyles Comment: Hands down the best journalism out there, it shows the real workings of our world, it doesn't sugar-coat it, it doesn't turn it into some Vinewood-movie type of story, this is the rawest form of journalism, people should stop thirsting over websites like former AdmireMe and watch actual journalism such as Stringers:SA instead. Props to you.
  15. This is kind of a double edged sword because I can already see players using high priority markers to advertise their business because "buh-huh business is important it's not an ad i'm notifying them about an event i'm doing".
  16. you will slander sarah busby and you will LOVE it.
  17. This is a version of my Sheriff's character, who's also a volly firefighter, Myles Escudero: (It's unedited, the spelling is wrong because AI)
  18. No. My point is not that it's borderline trollish antics. My point is that there are way too many stabbings and riots/reasons to disrupt normal RP to the point these are the new norm, and it burnt out any person interested in TTCF RP on SD's side when it still was a thing. It's not really a point, even, moreso a statement of fact, you can ask any CO in SD why they disliked custody RP, this is not my personal opinion, this is a feeling that was shared among SD, custody RP is ruined by the overabundance of stabbings. The goal of the new rule, and what it's doing fine so far, is to limit those stabbings to a lower amount, one that appears more realistic.
  19. Ah, yes. I don't agree with you so my point is void. Perfect logic. Let's cut this here, you will clearly not change your opinion and I honestly won't agree that wasting 4 hours because people can't do anything other than stab each other is normal.
  20. Having been a Deputy dedicating time to TTCF and being in SADCR now, I can tell you outright the reason no one wanted to do jail duty and the few that did got burnt out is because of the overabundant amount of shanks existing, sometimes with the most ridiculous of RPs. Without exaggerating, we in SD have not been able to have 15 full minutes of RP without an inmate: - Punching another - Stabbing another - Starting a full out riot. How many yard times happened and got ruined because of the fact people can't imagine RP without needing a weapon? How many chows, library times, commissaries, and so on? The feeling of boredom of having to: 1- witness every 10 minutes a stabbing, 2- bring everyone back to their cell and do ad-seg when needed (not that it matters, people barely see this as a punishment, they AFK and call it a day for the most part), taking up about 20/30 minutes from right after the stabbing to the moment peace was brought back in the pod (solely by confining one inmate per cell one by one respectively), 3- call or NPC LSFD's response, which both cases included can go anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, then call or NPC DMEC if applicable, which itself can also take from 15 to 45 minutes. For the full deal you stand at about 1hr to 3hr for one single incident, which represents basically more or less an evening, of just standing around and not being able to do RP because you have to be focused on one incident made by one guy. Rinse, repeat every day, of every week for the entire year. I was one of the first to complain and request a shank wipe and stricter rules for shanks within TTCF and then within Bolingbroke. Added to that, we can consider the play-to-win mentality of those who hold and craft shanks, as in I've seen RP being done of (somehow) managing to cut off benches legs with a comb, or with ridiculous items, and even then, once the shank was obtained, no /cim or /scene was left to give a clue to the CO that a bench's leg would be missing or anything of the sort. So, no, this rule is not in vain. A stricter control of shanks is needed to ensure quality RPand moreover realism (as opposed to near-powergaming at times, crafting a shank out of a tuna can when it's given out in packets, not cans). To end this post, I'll quote a perfect example to that, being that within the first two hours of SADCR being a thing, a stabbing was already reported, just before the shank wipe.
